Hanna is a 2011 British-German action thriller film that contains prominent fairy tale elements, directed by Joe Wright. The film stars Saoirse Ronan as the title character, and Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett. The film was released in North America on April 8, 2011 and in Europe on May 5, 2011.

Hanna Heller (Saoirse Ronan) is a 15-year-old girl who lives with her father, Erik Heller (Eric Bana) in the wilderness of northern Finland. The movie opens with her hunting and killing a reindeer, first by shooting it with an arrow that just misses its heart, and then killing it with a handgun.

Since age two, Hanna has been trained by Erik, an ex-C.I.A. operative from Germany, to be a skilled assassin. Erik knows a secret that cannot become public. He left the agency, going incognito into the Arctic. Marissa Wiegler (Cate Blanchett), a C.I.A. officer, wants to kill Erik, who has trained Hanna to kill Wiegler. Hanna reads a blood-stained Grimms' Fairy Tales book frequently, has a great deal of encyclopaedic knowledge, and is fluent in several languages. Due to her training away from civilization, she has never come into contact with modern technology or culture, and is personally unfamiliar with music or electricity. She has memorized a series of fake back-stories for herself to be used "when the time comes".

One night, Hanna tells Erik that she is "ready". Erik digs up a transmitter that will alert the outside world to their presence. Warning Hanna that if Marissa Wiegler ever finds her “she won’t stop" until either Hanna or Wiegler is dead, he reluctantly allows Hanna the freedom to make her decision. After some time considering the decision, at least overnight, Hanna slowly flips the switch, sending a signal of their location to Wiegler, who sends a team to Erik's cabin. Erik leaves, instructing Hanna to eventually meet him in Berlin. Hanna waits for the team, and kills some of them as they enter the cabin, but is captured and taken to a large underground C.I.A. complex. Wiegler is suspicious over Hanna's request to talk to her, and decides to send in a body double (Michelle Dockery) instead. Hanna asks the body double where she met her father. The double, who is being fed answers through an earpiece by Wiegler, answers the questions correctly, and Hanna starts to cry and crawl into the lap of the double, sobbing into her shoulder. This makes the officials uneasy, who send soldiers and a doctor to her cell to sedate her to calm her down. As they enter the cell, Hanna kills the double, and then kills several others (stealing a handgun from one of them), breaks free through the ventilation system, and escapes the compound.
